November 28, 2013 by admin · Comments Off on Top Three Reasons You Need Scalable Hosting (and Black Friday offers)

How scalable is your web host?

You might be asking yourself, “what does it matter if my host is scalable?”

Honestly, if you don’t plan on growing your site and it’s performing fine then
scaling may not matter to you. But there is an exception to the rule that most online business
owners forget about…

The Holidays.

Your online business needs scalability more than ever this time of year.

Scalability is simply the ability for your hosting to behave in an elastic manner. Growing and
shrinking with the load place upon your website.

This ensures you are online during traffic spikes, and most importantly… not losing sales.

Business owners just like you are driving people to their online stores with outrageous discounts
and deals. This means huge amounts of traffic in short periods of time.

Twitter, Facebook, Email, Banner Ads, Ad Retargeting campaigns can spike instantly this
time of year. If you have a lot of Twitter followers then you might get RT’s and trend up quickly
which leads to traffic hitting your website.

Facebook can generate hundreds of visitors in seconds… I’ve experienced this on one of my
hobby websites and it totally brought my site down.. costing me sales.

Three Reasons You Need Scalable Hosting to Avoid:

#1. Slow Performance #2. Website Down or Offline #3. Lost Sales

With the holiday season upon us, it’s time to reconsider your hosting needs. Gone are the days
where moving your site was a nuisance. Now, you can easily be up and running with a new Web
Host in just a few short hours.

While some hosting companies offer hosting solutions that suit powerful, large physical hosting needs, these same companies tend to not cater to the lighter side of excellence in hosting. The reality is, a lot of businesses don’t need the raw strength that many hosting solutions offer. Instead, they need speed, flexibility, and a lighter cost when it comes to their hosting. Requiring better services that change and move that are fast and still reliable; many companies are left in the dark when they search for these kinds of hosting. But there’s a light- to the lighter side of great hosting.

ToggleBox is an excellent example of a company that specializes in cloud servers, virtual private servers (VPS), and content delivery networks (CDN) with their lighter hosting solutions. ToggleBox is owned by TekTonic, which has been delving and offering cloud server programs since before they became popular and mainstream.

April 19, 2011 by FindMyHost News · Comments Off on How cloud hosting trumps traditional shared hosting each and every time

Once upon a time, cloud hosting technology was reserved for large companies and corporations. Only they could afford to put together complex cloud environments.

With the evolution of technology, those days are over. Cloud hosting is now affordable and available to companies large and small. Countless businesses are making the switch into the cloud, and for good reason.

Uptime that can’t be beat

One major difference between cloud hosting and shared hosting is the ability of cloud environments to offer 100% uptime. Regular shared hosting can only offer 99% uptime, at best.

How is this possible? Well, with cloud hosting your website is on hundreds of servers. If one of them happens to go down, another server will step in automatically. A server is always at the ready.

In contrast, shared hosting puts your website on one server. If it crashes, so does your site. There are no automatic backups in place to deal with potential problems or traffic surges.

Full scalability

In shared hosting, it’s common for another customer’s major traffic spike to affect the performance of your site.

With the cloud, this is not an issue. Big increases in web activity are dealt with dynamically and seamlessly. The cloud takes everything in stride. If more power is needed, the cloud automatically delivers, and then gears down when the rush is over. Read more
